Demonstrate expertise in MT4/MT5 bridge technology or proprietary trading system architectures.
- User Experience & Data Analytics: Enhance trading terminal (Web/App) interfaces to reduce order latency and improve charting tools. Analyze user behavior metrics (retention rate, rebate ratio, liquidation rate) to drive product iterations that increase customer lifetime value (LTV).

- Technical Skills: Mastery of CFD mechanics including margin trading, leverage principles, spreads, slippage, swap calculations, and long/short trading logic. Proficiency with MetaTrader platforms (MT4/MT5), cTrader, or proprietary trading systems. Strong data analysis capabilities using SQL, Python, or visualization tools (Tableau/PowerBI).
- Soft Skills: Keen market sensitivity to global macroeconomic trends affecting asset trading. Exceptional logical reasoning and risk assessment abilities for complex decision-making.
